# --description--

The text has appeared again! This is because `"false"` is a string, which when evaluated to a boolean becomes `true`. This means `"false"` is a truthy value.

A <dfn>truthy value</dfn> is a value that is considered true when evaluated as a boolean. Most of the values you encounter in JavaScript will be truthy.

A <dfn>falsy value</dfn> is the opposite - a value considered false when evaluated as a boolean. JavaScript has a defined list of falsy values. Some of them include `false`, `0`, `""`, `null`, `undefined`, and `NaN`.

Try changing your `if` condition to an empty string `""`, which is a falsy value.

# --hints--

Your `if` statement should have `""` as the condition.

```js
assert.match(code, /if\s*\(\s*("|')\1\s*\)/);
```

```js
const character = "#";
const count = 8;
const rows = [];

function padRow(rowNumber, rowCount) {
  return " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber) + character.repeat(2 * rowNumber - 1) + " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber);
}

// TODO: use a different type of loop
/*for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++) {
  rows.push(padRow(i, count));
}*/

if ("false") {

let result = ""

for (const row of rows) {
  result = result + "\n" + row;
}

console.log(result);
